How to start developing custom apps on Broadcom Trident-based switches?
Broadcom is the biggest supplier of Network Switching Silicon in the world, and it has a plethora of different chipsets available to customers. A networking equipment developer spends the largest amount of product development time making the SW work. Broadcom provides a Switch Development Kit (SDK) to enable quick bolting of SW stacks onto network […]
Tomahawks versus Tridents
Which Broadcom ASIC family is better? Broadcom has its StrataXGS line for switching with Tomahawk and Trident families. What is the difference between them, and which one should you prefer? To understand the difference, we need to examine two things: what Broadcom says about each family and the SW support. Let’s look at descriptions first. […]

The Aurora 715 has 32x100G QSFP28 ports for Spine, Leaf, DCI, ToR, Enterprise, Edge, and 5G deployment scenarios. The Aurora 615 […]
Inside a 32x400G TH3 switch
We already talked quite a bit about white-box switch architecture and how networking software works. There were pieces about basics, ICOS, OpenSwitch. All squares, arrows, names, and other theoretical cliches, completely unbound from the material base. This one will be a more physical piece, looking inside one of the most advanced products on the market […]
Academia and Research Program
With growing demand from the research community for access to Tofino-powered switches, we are happy to announce a special Academia and Research program. Instead of going through the whole NDA and SLA processes, a research organization or university members can apply for a shortcut and get access to Barefoot Forum for Advanced Switching Technology Education […]

Whitebox Switches: Programmable VS Fixed ASICs
White Box Switches: The Basics, Part 1 White Box Switches: Part Two, ICOS White Box Switches: Part Three, OPS For quite some time we have a new buzz word on the market – programmable Ethernet silicon that makes your network so great that it cannot be ignored. Usually, it’s setoff between so-called fixed-function ASICs and […]
